I confess this card don't looks so good I first time see but I feel like finally we have a very good 5 manas neutral defensive card, like the old Sludge.
It is separate in 3 bodys so is not vulnerable to single removals and divine shield make resistent to mass removals.
My impression is correct or I wrong and give the card more credit than deserve?
My first opinion about this card was that it does the same job as Sludge Belcher. It might be even better because it synergezies with Fungalmancer and potentially eat up to 4 attacks at max. The only upside that SludgeBelcher have know is his synergy with Deathrattle cards and N'Zoth.
I removed the card from most of my decks, playing into spreading plague is no good when druid is so powerful.
But yeah it's really impressive, for 5 mana it generates exactly 5 mana worth of stats and keywords and yet it still competes with degenerate mana cheating stuff that is everywhere now.
On topic Belcher is better against token decks. Giggling is better against everything else.
What? No! If anything it's better than a Belcher unless you are playing deathrattle synergy deck or trying to beat a Defile type effect. Belcher gets wrecked by silence. Giggling Inventor doesn't and general silence effects will always be more relevant than Mossy Horror.
Shudderwock means driving a clown car in circles around your opponent while he swings his sword at you. Half the time he chops you and your car to pieces. The other half you park on his legs and 40 clowns come out one by one, trampling him to death.
Good comparison. I'd say it's a better card than Belcher in any build. It's better defensively b/c the shields and extra bodies do much better vs. the swarms in the meta. It gives nice magnetic targets, too.
It's better offensively since the extra bodies make for stickier minions and better buff chances. It's better vs. Mage secrets since the 2/1 is the trigger. It's certainly better for bloodlust/roar type decks.
Inventor seems only a little better. I think it is close to 50/50. Giggling Inventor seems weaker to AOE spells like Fan of Knives and tech cards like Mossy Horror and Blood Knight. Sludge Belcher's 5 health can still be awkward to deal with even today. I also hope you meant " any standard build" otherwise, N'zoth would like to have a word with you! By the way is anyone else running Blood Knight?

I agree with that opinion, but i think Giggling Inventor is worse than Sludge Belcher

I've found it to typically be better than sludge belcher because sludge belcher is much weaker to silence. That's just my experience so far.
It's a very strong taunt, no doubt about it. I think only Mage deals with it efficiently.
I may well be stronger than Belcher in some situations. It's especially strong vs aggro, which is great.
you know a card is rather strong when people are actually making room for it in maly druid. xD
Rumors are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots.
In this case is OP, only OP cards are accept in that deck. xD
Just went up vs a Quest Rogue whose gimmick was to bounce GI. Board full of 4/4 shielded taunts.
New cancer deck spotted, Blizz pls.
it single handedly makes any deck viable against aggro. I love this card so much.
I knew it would be the set sleeper.
I do this in my bunny rogue with sonya. I don't use the quest. but aggro cannot get through it as they don't run enough removal.
I think Giggling Inventor is indeed a very strong card. However, people need to be teching in Mossy Horror in any non-aggro decks to deal with it.
It's scary how good the card is though, whether offensively or defensively haha.

mossy horror, bro. sorts out that spreading.

GI is still catching on. Best counter is Shadow Word: Horror. Sure is nice to Shadow Visions for it on turn 6. :-)

Belcher was a better card in its time, but Giggling Inventor is better now
Aggro decks tech Mossy Horror as well , so much tech'ing against means a card is good!

I think they are mostly teching mossy horror for spreading plague, but inventor is a convenient victim as well.
"HE-LLO HE-LLO" "HELLOOOOO". Good god, I get PTSD from Goblins and Gnomes expansion. FeelsBadMan.
When I saw the card for the first time, I knew it was going to be strong. But only after I tried it, I realized how powerful it is.
This card single-handedly won me a lot of games against aggro. It's better than Sludge Belcher, because there are 2 bodies, which need to be silenced.
I don't know if this will be nerfed, but I'm enjoying this card a lot. If they make it cost 6 mana, I think this would be unplayable.
